Christmas parties are always interesting events. Even more if they are work Christmas parties. Inhibitions are kinda lowered, you get a chance to talk about non-related work shiz with the people you work with everyday, plus it is a chance to get to know the culture of the workplace beneath the facade of professionalism and all that jazz.
Since it is my first Christmas in my new company, there were some pretty interesting things I found out, like who drank what, who eats more than he should, who is more shala than most, etc.
We had the marketing department Christmas party at Kiss the Cook, Maginhawa St. Teacher’s Village. It is a pretty small place that offers gourmet food. Nice relaxed and homey atmosphere. They have really amazing food, at first we thought “Crap, these serving sizes are small!” but when we piled them to our plate “Crap, we can’t finish all of these!”.
Aside from our Christmas party it was also our farewell tribute to our marketing Senior Vice President Elaine Guzman who is retiring. Although I only spent a short time working with her, she’s a really cool boss. Save for when she gets mad because I don’t get things done hahahaha! I will miss you Madame!
Then we had the RSC Christmas Party. It was a costume party with Disney as the theme, since Araneta Coliseum will be having Disney on Ice performances for December. I wanted to be all cool about my costume, so I went as the White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland. I thought it would be pretty funny to go as the White Rabbit despite my obviously ebony complexion. Plus I just really wanted to wear rabbit ears ala Hugh Hefner’s beloved Bunnies. Oh yeah!
PS I made my own rabbit ears, and one of my office mates went as Alice, so it was pretty rad! We were the only White Rabbit and Alice in the entire party compared to the bazillion Minnie Mice and Snow Whites.
